Izzo Therapy Groups

Group therapy in San Mateo and beyond isn’t just about talking—it’s a research-backed way to grow emotionally, build healthy relationships, and feel less alone. Whether you’re looking for support groups for anxiety, women’s therapy groups, or a space to explore identity, group therapy might be the right fit for you.

Backed by Research

• Group therapy is evidence-based.
  According to the American Psychological Association (APA), group therapy effectively treats conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use. Results often match those of individual therapy.

• Connection promotes healing.
  A 2020 meta-analysis in Psychotherapy Research found that group cohesion—how supported you feel—directly boosts outcomes in mental health therapy.

• Multiple perspectives = faster growth.
  In group counseling, peer feedback leads to stronger emotional awareness and growth. A study in The Journal of Counseling Psychology found that hearing from others accelerates insight and connection.

• You are not alone.
  A key element of group therapy for women, teens, or adults is “universality”—realizing your struggles aren’t just your own. This reduces shame and helps build confidence.
